Decentralized & Hybrid Trials

Enabling decentralized and hybrid trials.

Patient-centric delivery that enhances traditional sites with in-home optionality.

The in-home partner

Hawthorne enables decentralized and hybrid trials through a national network of GCP-trained research nurses. We are the in-home partner sponsors and CROs add to their study design, with national coverage, IP delivery, and execution that offers simplicity.

Partner with our network to run a study fully decentralized, to add a decentralized arm alongside your existing partner, or to bring select visits home in a hybrid design. One network supports all three.

Multiple ways to partner

Three ways to use our in-home research nurse network. One network supports all three.

Hybrid

Enhance your site-based study delivery with select in-home visits.

Your sites stay as they are. Some visits move to the patient's home, chosen by visit type rather than by patient, so the schedule is the same for everyone in the arm.

Fully decentralized

Run the study in-home from end to end, with national reach.

No study site. Every visit happens at the patient's home, in all 50 states, so enrollment is not limited by how far a patient lives from a site.

Decentralized arm

Complement your site or partner network with a national in-home arm.

Your existing sites run their arm unchanged. We run a separate in-home arm alongside it, under the same protocol, reaching patients your site footprint does not.

Nationwide in-home visits

The reach of a decentralized study with the operational discipline of a traditional one.

What our in-home nurse network provides

Visits, investigational product, and logistics, under standardized SOPs.

Nationwide in-home visits

2,000+ GCP-trained nurses under one quality system, in-home visits delivered since 2015, and coverage across all 50 states.

IP delivery and administration

In-home investigational product handling and administration under standardized SOPs.

Visit execution and logistics

Centralized scheduling, sample collection services, clinical assessment and visit documentation, under standardized SOPs.

Benefits to your study

More reach around your sites, without added complexity.

  • Increase patient reach around study sites by minimizing the burden of trial participation, supporting greater access, retention, and continuity
  • Cost-effective national in-home nurse coverage you can add to any study design without significant added complexity
  • Consistent execution supported by training compliance tracking and 21 CFR Part 11-compliant documentation

Designed for sponsors and CROs who need predictability

Expand access without adding cost and complexity.

Hybrid and decentralized designs should expand patient access without adding extra cost and complexity.

Our in-home network gives sponsors and CROs the reach of a decentralized study with the operational discipline of a traditional one: clear accountability, real-time visibility, and execution that holds across geographies.
